No. Hot dogs are already precooked. They're safe to eat right out of the package. It's like bologna in a tube.

Although all hot dogs are fully cooked, always reheat before eating. Use a food thermometer to make sure hot dogs reach 165 °F or are steamy hot throughout.
Studies have shown a high level of the harmful bacteria Listeria in hot dogs. Thus, for added precaution, persons at risk may choose to avoid eating hot dogs and luncheon meats, such as bologna, unless they are reheated until steamy hot.
But, in your blunder, I would say just this once you are fine. Don't make a habit of it! If you start to feel a little sick to the tummy or a little loose stools, take an Imodium AD if you have one handy. For stomach cramps, anything syrupy or with that cola syrup in it. Like a cola, or a ginger ale.
You're fine. Relax,...maybe put somemore bland food into your system such as a couple saltine crackers to soak up any digestive enzymes that may overreact and cause painfull gas.
Depends on how sensitivo your belly is....mine...forgetaboutit!! I'd be on the floor rolling around if you know what i mean!

Goodness no! I have eaten hotdogs right out of the pack all my life and I never got food poisoning. Neither did my kids when they were growing up. They loved them for snacks.

My dad used to eat cold hot dogs all the time. It's disgusting, but it won't do you any harm. Unless, the hot dog is old or hasn't been refridgerated for a while.

You probably won't because it was cold. If it hadn't been sitting out for a long time it should have been fine. Next time if it seems raw, do yourself a favor and don't eat it. ;)

You will be fine. Hot dogs do not have to be cooked. You could eat them cold if you wanted to.

No. Hot dogs have already been processed and precooked.

You will be perfectly fine. Those are precooked meat and so full of preservatives that nothing will happen.
